Facts about Dedicator of cytokinesis protein 8.
Required for CD4(+) T-cell migration in response to chemokine stimulation by promoting CDC42 activation at T cell leading edge membrane (PubMed:28028151). Is involved in NK cell cytotoxicity controlling polarization of microtubule-organizing center (MTOC), and potentially regulating CCDC88B-mediated lytic granule transport to MTOC during cell killing (By similarity).
